History YMMV / BravestWarriors

* CharacterPerceptionEvolution: Immediately after his first appearance as a minor character in "Gas Powered Stick", Catbug rapidly became the show's biggest EnsembleDarkhorse due to being a RidiculouslyCuteCritter with an equally-cute voice. This led to him easily turning into the most popular character in the whole show, with more fans than even the Bravest Warriors themselves. Noticing this, the writers elevated him to BreakoutCharacter status, giving him an appearance in nearly every episode of Season 2, including multiple [[ADayInTheLimelight Days in the Limelight]] for him while producing more and more [[TheMerch Catbug-themed merch]], which became the show's biggest source of revenue. Over time, however, this Catbug oversaturation, combined with some of his actions being controversial (like an alternate universe version of him turning into a misogynistic dictator in "Hamster Priest", or killing Jelly Kid, the show's second-biggest Ensemble Darkhorse, in "Jelly Kid Forever") led to him becoming more of a BaseBreakingCharacter.

** Catbug. Although given that he's a RidiculouslyCuteCritter it's not surprising how quickly comments became filled with "Catbug for the win!" The writers seem to have taken notice as he becomes the titular character of the season finale. Though Catbug's controversial roles in the episodes ''Hamster Priest'' and ''Jelly Kid Forever'' have hurt his reputation. After becoming a OnceAnEpisode fixture in season two, he was finally left out of ''The Puppetyville Horror,'' the next immediate episode.

* AuthorsSavingThrow:
** "Season of The Mitch" is a huge one. After a season's worth of horrible abuse PlayedForLaughs, the trauma Danny feels [[spoiler:for being entirely responsible for causing Wallow to lose an arm isn't.]] Not only that but he gets a genuinely epic and heroic (if hilarious) moment [[spoiler:snapping out of his funk in the nick of time to save Beth from being the Aeon Worm's mate, saving the entire universe in the process.]]
** Catbug has a reduced role in Season 3 after being overexposed in Season 2, along with going back to his original personality, appeasing the backlash that resulted from his callous beheading of Jelly Kid and insensitivity towards the Bravest Warriors' grief in "Jelly Kid Forever".

* TheWoobie: Danny when he was a kid. He was forced to vomit on command by a group of Floating Hackers.
** Taken up a notch in the comic adaptation, where Danny [[spoiler:feels terrible guilt for exploding a sexist planet back in issue one and for issues 5-8 lives out a dream were he lives out said guilt]].

** The Cereal Master.
** Beth in Aeon Worm, Hamster Priest, Season of the Worm, and Season of the Mitch.

* UglyCute: Larvae Catbug from "Dimension Garden".

* CriticalResearchFailure: Beth's exposition in ''Catbug'' is rendered a little bit jarring; the art clearly shows rod shaped bacteria that she refers to as viruses, and viruses can't grow outside of a host. Justified perhaps in that they're extradimensional.
